NORMAN —The NCAA has released details on the 2021 women's gymnastics championships. Scheduled for April 16-17 inside Dickies Arena in Fort Worth, Texas.

The No. 2 overall seed Oklahoma Sooners will compete in Semifinal II at 5 p.m. CT on Friday, April 16. The meet will be televised on ESPN2 with BartĀ Conner and Kathy Johnson Clarke on the call.

All rotations were predetermined by random draw. As the top finisher from the regional with the No. 2 seed, the Sooners will begin on bars before rotating to beam, floor and closing on vault.

OU will face No. 3 LSU, No. 6 Utah and No. 7 Alabama in the second session. Arkansas' Kennedy Hambrick will rotate with the team as an individual all-around competitor. Competing on the opposite side of the bracket is No. 1 Florida, No. 4 Michigan, No. 5 Cal and No. 8 Minnesota. The first semifinal will begin at noon CT on Friday and air on ESPN2.

The top two teams from each NCAA Semifinal will advance to the Four on the Floor. The Sooners have advanced to the finals nine times in program history, including the last six years. Oklahoma has placed in the top three every year since 2013, including four national championships in 2014, 2016, 2017.

Individual event and all-around national champions will also be determined during the semifinal competition. OU has 14 individual national champions in its history. The last individual national champions for the Sooners came in 2019 with Brenna Dowell taking home the title on floor and Maggie Nichols earning a pair of individual titles including the all-around and vault.

OU won its 11th consecutive regional title last Saturday night, taking first place at the NCAA Tuscaloosa Regional to earn a spot in the championship field of eight. The Sooners' score of 198.175 was the high score in the nation across all regionals. OU captured three regional championships as Anastasia Webb took home bars with a perfect 10 and shared floor with Olivia Trautman with matching 9.95s. Trautman also earned a perfect 10 on vault in the regional final becoming just the third OU gymnast to ever score a perfect 10 at regional competition.
